Kidnapped as a young boy, Ben has little understanding of the real world when he is finally reunited with his family at eighteen years old. The media are obsessed with his story' and Ben finds himself entrapped in a new kind of captivity until he meets Ella, a young woman who forces him to confront what happened. Challenging the media's fixation with child abduction and celebrity acquired by tragedy, the questions surrounding Ben's disappearance gradually begin to surface. What happened to him whilst he was locked up? And how will he adjust to a new life without the man who held him captive?

Firewatchers, The

Synopsis:
East London, 1942. Germany continues to bomb a scorched and devastated city. High upon a factory rooftop, two women keep watch over their little corner of London together. They are Firewatchers. Wealthy Catharine and munitions worker Jean are the most unlikely pairing, but over the course of one dramatic evening, their hopes, fears and differences play out amid the tension of an air raid. The Firewatchers tells the story of two very different - but equally lonely - women struggling to matter and keep their morale in a time when many thought Britain wouldn't make it, but few dared say it.

Thin Toes

Synopsis:
Art, anorexia and exhibitionism collide. Three characters attempt to make sense of a world where you can create an amazing painting but cant tell someone you love how you feel. Meg was once a famous artist but is now struggling with life in the background, her daughter Andrea has talent to burn but doesn't know how to use it and best friend Lucy is desperately seeking the love of a normal family. Over a six month period Lucy battles to save her friend from the horrors of anorexia, as Andrea chases a 'perfect weight' that draws her further and further away from her mother Meg.
